There has to be some way to ensure people’s safety. I don’t think religious freedom trumps people’s safety. It’s just not that important to me. Some dogma is just plain nuts.

@chas: This is about how elites will do anything to stay in power, including disturbing the sleeping dogs of ethnic insecurity and racial hatred, under the guise of protecting human rights.

The Quebec government is probably going to lose the next election so they have invented a “problem” about how secularism is under attack in Quebec. They have now created a problem where bigoted individuals are targeting visible minorities and openly saying, “I don’t want non-white people here.”

The people who are unsafe are the visible minorities, as usual. People who wear “religious” garb; headscarves, turbans, the kippah, are being explicitly told they are not welcome in Quebec.
